About Cherie

Cherie Felzer is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who helps people facing depression and related struggles find steadier ground. She works with clients dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, addiction, relationship strain, parenting pressures, and questions about life purpose and self-love. Her approach is warm and grounded, aimed at helping people reconnect with their own strength and values.

Cherie brings 11 years of clinical experience together with a long personal practice of movement and somatic work. She emphasizes listening to the body as well as to thoughts and feelings. Sessions often focus on noticing where emotions are held in the body and learning simple, practical ways to shift stuck patterns.

Her background includes work with people facing cancer, hospice and end-of-life issues, compassion fatigue, and isolation. She also supports those exploring intimacy, identity, and career transitions. Cherie draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centered, Mindfulness, and Somatic approaches to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

In practice she offers a calm, steady presence and encourages small, usable steps people can take between sessions. Work may include guided mindfulness exercises, movement awareness, and talking through practical coping strategies. The aim is to help clients move from feeling overwhelmed to feeling more connected and capable.

How her attachment, mindfulness, and somatic work translate online

Attachment-Based work looks at how relationships shape feelings and safety. Online sessions use conversation to map patterns and try new ways of relating to others and to oneself. This can help with depression linked to loss, loneliness, or repeating relationship hurts.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills for noticing thoughts and bodily sensations without judgment. Cherie may guide short mindfulness practices to reduce rumination and increase pause between feeling and reaction. These skills are useful for stress, anxiety, and low mood.

Somatic Therapy focuses on how emotions show up in the body. Even in online sessions, attention to breathing, posture, and small movement can reveal stuck patterns. Clients may be guided to notice bodily signals and practice gentle movement or grounding exercises to shift tension and overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Cherie will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then adjust methods as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process that aims to match tools to each person’s needs.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Many people find video or phone sessions let them continue therapy while managing work, caregiving, or medical commitments.
